CURRENT MISSION

Playing music, learning to fly and finding the theory of everything

ABOUT ME

I saw, heard, felt and tasted a bit of the world, but not yet enough!
People that are open-minded and without prejudices gain my highest respect.
I love to learn and teach music, physics, maths, computer science, improvisation theatre and a lot of other things.
I like creative and artful things as well as the beings creating them. I find much beauty in nature.
I'm vegan, pacifist, atheist, realist.
I hold the free will of an individual as the highest of all natural rights.
I like to find new perspectives of the world and everything in it and to share mine with others.

PHILOSOPHY

Borders only exist in the heads of people.
The most fundamental right of a conscious being is freedom, and it ends only where another's freedom begins.
Learn to love in order to be happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My little private CS project is preparing vegan meals with as many other CS people as possible!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed couches in Montpellier, Cardiff and Avignon. I hosted a nice australian guy, I cooked a vegan meal with a friendly canadian, I showed someone the way around in Cambridge, I had a lovely dinner and other well spent evenings with a charming italian girl, I enjoyed the hospitality of a french Hamburguese.
Each time, it was really great.

Interests

Learn new things, understanding old things better.
Discovering the good in people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flying with a hangglider. For a much to short moment, I could imagine how it must be to be a bird.
Tasting hazelnut drink. Just water, agave syrup and hazelnuts. It was a bit similar to tejate, a mexican drink.
Being chased across a really long meadow by very angry bulls.
Climbing on a rock, slipping, falling and forgetting that there is a rope.
